today, the corpse of irony was found stomped and mangled in a gutter

Via diepunyhumans:

Planned Parenthood is proud to offer yet another t-shirt in our new social fashion line: "I Had an Abortion" fitted T-shirts are now available. These soft and comfortable fitted tees assert a powerful message in support of women's rights.

"Proud to offer"?  "Support of women's rights"?  I don't think anyone in their right mind thinks that an abortion is something that's GOOD to have.  This is just going to give the pro-life wackjobs more ammo — "See, Planned Parenthood wants women to be PROUD of killing their babies!"

Five close friends of mine (that I know of) have had abortions.
None of them are gonna talk about it openly, but at the same time none of them are ashamed of what they did, nor do any of them regret the choice they made.
I think it's a good idea to remove the stigma.
At the same time, my understanding of PP was that their aim was to make abortions as unnecessary as possible. And this won't help their cause one bit.
This cannot serve in any constructive fashion.
And though I hate to sound so coldly pragmatic, couldn't they have picked a non-(presidential)election year to introduce this shirt?

Bingo. Thanks for getting to the kernel of what i was trying to say.

And, yes, bad timing, too.
